what this is. It's an annual, it appears every year in large clumps. I don't remember ever planting it. It may even be a weed, I've no idea. Have you?  |

hi your plant is similar to cynoglossum, but I can't be sure which variety. How tall is it?

Could it be Brunnera macrophyllum (perennial forgetmenot) ?

Yes I think you are right Andy. We have it growing side by side with its annual cousin (Myosotis).

Hm, I thought it was brunnera macrophylla too but mine doesn't get that tall and EG's leaves are pointed whereas mine are more rounded  |

My mate just popped round and he's an exceptionally good plantsman and he said it was brunnera too.
If you google image it, the pics are almost identical
